The Atlantic's Nicholas Jackson, relatively new to Google+, put out a call for best practices for circle-building. Here are the six I came up with:
1. Circles are useful for both reading and writing, although not all of your circles will be equally useful for both.
2. You can delete the default circles Google sets up for you. If you have no need for "Acquaintances," "Following," or "Family," out they go.
3. An extremely powerful tool for merging, splitting, or subdividing circles is to use "view circle as tab." You get this by right-clicking on the circle in the circle management center.
4. Besides reading/writing, my circles are really driven by three considerations: geography, interest, and strength/closeness/kind of relationship. Sometimes these overlap: for instance, I have a "Tech Allies" circle that is distinct from my "Tech" circle. You might, for instance, want to create a "DC Media" circle, or "Local Friends," etc.
5. Sometimes it's worth having a holding circle to keep people until you figure out whether you really want to follow them OR where you ought to put them. I use "Acquaintances" this way. "New People" is similar.
6. When sharing, don't worry too much about which circles you do or don't share what with. Unless it's sensitive information, it won't much matter if some people miss out. And it likewise won't matter if somebody sees something that doesn't interest them much.
60-80% of what you write here won't be seen by 60-80% of the people you write for. At LEAST. And if it isn't seen, it won't be missed. Both of these things are actually a great comfort.
